Question

How many 1/2 miles are in 12 miles? In its simplest form.

Answer 1

We have to find how many 1/2-miles are in 12 miles.

That can be calculated by dividing 12 by 1/2:

`(12)/((1)/(2))=12\cdot((2)/(1))=12\cdot2=24`

Or we can calculate how many half miles are in 1 mile: there are 2. Then, for 12 miles, we will have 2*12 =24 half miles.

Answer: 24.
